SB250 in California just failed 40 nay 33 aye
That's not quite true. Here are the 4 votes taken yesterday: Original Vote Today YES ... 30 NO ...38 NOT VOTING ... 10 Vote at 2:34pm YES ... 32 NO ... 39 NOT VOTING ... 7 Vote at 3:01pm YES ...32 NO ...40 NOT VOTING ... 6 Vote at 3:16pm YES ... 33 NO ... 40 NOT VOTING ... 5After the last vote, the Chair declared that the bill had lost but the sponsor requested "reconsideration." This was granted which means the bill could come up again Friday, Monday, or Tuesday. Tuesday is the last day it can be considered per the California constitution.
Note that the "Not voting" is declining but that those votes broke 3-2 in favor of SB250. With the move to reconsider giving 3 legislative days plus the week-end, the vote could change dramatically.
The advice....keep up the pressure. Eric
